Re: First speeding ticket
 

60 in a 45, that's gonna hurt!

Re: First speeding ticket
 

at least the OP didnt come in here to b*tch about the speeding ticket, he seems to own up to it, so maybe lesson learned :p

Re: First speeding ticket
 

Knew it was coming eventually haha, I tend to have a heavy foot

Re: First speeding ticket
 

dont we all.... lol

Re: First speeding ticket
 

Hooray for speeding!

Oh wait...

Re: First speeding ticket
 

Ouch, that sucks. I'm always lightfooted and drive like an 80 year old. Better MPG and less prone to accidents. :D

Re: First speeding ticket
 

And you really gotta have Eagle Eyes here with all the idiot drivers here

Re: First speeding ticket
 

I'm just glad he didn't catch me on a back road going wayyy over

Re: First speeding ticket
 

Ive done 90 in a 45 ... and got a nice ticket for it. Cop only clocked 86.

Re: First speeding ticket
 

Worst I got caught for was 101 in a 55 and evading the police.


Meh... To be young.

^ dang, yall are crazy!

Re: First speeding ticket
 

My speedometer reads about 3mph faster than the police radar. So when I see 43, they see 40. :D

Re: First speeding ticket
 

Got a notice of violation in the mail about a month ago. Only reason there wasn't a fine was that a good portion of my face was covered by my sunscreen. If I wanted to I could identify the driver... GFYS Scottsdale! Hooray Ford!

29 in a 15, the cop dropped a mile so it wouldn't be reckless driving. I pulled into a school zone from inbetween the signs.... I thought the limit was 30, but I was still speeding.


The worst part was when a kid with a lime green crotch rocket told me that the very same dipshit cop, who was rude to me, let him off for doing 60 in the same school zone.

Re: First speeding ticket
 

my speedometer reads around 5 over--even those trailer things they set out that clock speed say 5 diff than my truck.

i just got another, 82 in a 45. not gonna be fun.

Re: First speeding ticket
 

Congrats., and maybe you should slow down before your license is taken away.

Re: First speeding ticket
 

My first speeding ticket was in a 95 aspire lol. If you guys know what they are i'm sure your laughing at this. But i was on the highway minding my own business when this car came flying up on me. It was blinding me so i downshifted and gave the lil beast all she had. Then next thingI know cherrys and berrys. 67+ in a 55. which is impossible cause the car shook so bad at 60. And btw he didn't clock me. He pulled me over based on his speedometer.

I read that as 95 in an aspire... The story was much less impressive than I hoped...

I've only gotten one ticket, clocked me at 43 in a 20.
It was a straight country road that I never thought I'd see a cop on. It was dark and he got me, lol.

----------

But I admit, I'm a total lead foot. Just get lucky and haven't been pulled over since then. Like when I go down to Lexington, I go 85-90 most of the way. But I don't drive stupid. I don't weave in and out of lanes or ride peoples asses.

Re: First speeding ticket
 

I also got pulled over by one of the new state highway patrol chargers. Them suckers are hard to spot. He asked me if I intended on running lol. I said "Sir I'm in a 4cyl ranger" He said I thought you was gonna try to evade me. After I got my ticket I went to the municipal court and told the lady behind the glass that I just payed a payment for the new car. She didn't find it funny one bit

Re: First speeding ticket
 

i got nailed for 60 in a 45 2 weeks ago,i WAS doing like 75,but dude was cool n knocked it down to 60,still points though if guilty :/..this after clearing up almost all of my fines AND being found not guilty of driving on a suspended license(i totally was,but took car of it quick so judge dropped it) and a ticket for failure to yield right of way...damn i need to stop this shit haha

Did you guys hear about the man that payed his traffic ticket of 135 dollars or something like that with exactly 135 dollar bills folded into origami figures?

Sent from my iPhone using FRF App

Lol yeah folded into little pigs I think Lmfao!

Then put them into 2 Dunkin donuts boxes!! Haha what a legend.

Re: First speeding ticket
 

That's interesting.. My 91's speedo is 3-4 over

I've never got a speeding ticket, but I've got a ticket for failure to maintain lane, and a PTA for reckless and evading responsibility :s:

Re: First speeding ticket
 

guys, all fords speedo's show faster than you are going. its how they come from factory. 3-5 over.

ive never been ticketed for speeding. because i dont speed where i can get caught lol.

Re: First speeding ticket
 

Well that answers a few questions^

Re: First speeding ticket
 

That's terrible.. Why would they do such a thing

Lots of cars are like that.

Re: First speeding ticket
 

Every vehicle I've ever driven was this way. 3-5mph over, so I just go by the GPS. It says 79 when my speedo shows 83.

I've gotten one speeding ticket. 35 in a 25, in the company truck.:D 250 miles from home with one more job to go at 9pm. I was in a hurry. Worst part about it is that there were oil field trucks doing twice that in front of me and he waited for me to go by before he pulled out. I found out later that several other techs had gotten parking and speeding tickets from that same cop. I guess he doesn't like Dish Network. lol.

I can't understand why you guys would go 80 in a 45 and not expect to get caught. lol. The only time I ever sped on purpose was driving to Great Falls. Roughly 6 hours away, and I did it in 4 1/2 in a Dodge Neon. Not a single cop on that road anywhere.

Re: First speeding ticket
 

I've heard that rarely are speedometers dead on but to make a generalization that "all ford's show faster", I find hard to believe -- especially 3 - 5 mph.

Edit: I checked into this and found an article that was very helpful, and two points I found interesting. The first is that by law speedometers set at 50 mph can not be off by more than 5 mph in either direction. The second is that Car and Driver Magazine did a study of 200 cars, and what they found at 70 mph was that the speedometers were off in favor of the drivers (meaning the speed was actually slower than the speedometer read and not faster) and off by only 1.37 mph. The article can be seen at http://www.ehow.com/info_12209329_ac...edometers.html

It's how they are calibrated from factory.... I've been in many fords, and all are the exact same way. Speedo speed vs GPS speed. Fords are 3-5 MPH fast. As are a few other random vehicles I've compare it to.

Re: First speeding ticket
 

I can attest to this. every day on my college campus i drive by the reader boards that tell your speed and sure enough, it looks like im doing 27-28 on my speedo but it tells me 25 on the board

Re: First speeding ticket
 

A thought occurred and maybe it is the rounding due to the difference in miles vs. kilometers, for example 1 m = 1.6 km.

How do you know that the radar gun inside those curbside "info-traps" are correct? I have driven a lot of Ford's but other brands also, and I've never ran into an issue with speed. Nor is it common knowledge that "Ford's have issues with speedometers".
